ภาษาจีนเป็นภาษาโลก: ภาษาจีนกลางในโลก
Mandarin is no longer confined to just China, as it’s increasingly spoken all across the world. In the ‘Chinese is a World Language’ series, GoEast follows some native as well as foreign Mandarin speakers.
Here we have four parts:
Part one is about the Chinese language used in the United States
Sarah Johnson (江 淼 Jiāng Miǎo) from the USA, after having lived in Shanghai for three years. She writes about Mandarin speakers in San Francisco, about how initially she found it hard to find people to speak Chinese to. But San Fransisco is an interesting city, being the port for many Chinese citizens into the United States.
Part two is about Morris teaching Chinese in Chile
Morris Long (龙鳞 Lóng Lín), teacher of GoEast in Shanghai and online, who taught in Valdivia, Chile.
Part three is about the Chinese language in Canada
